Do We Have Free Will,

or Is Everything  Determined?

 

It's one of philosophy's oldest questions. Philosopher Dr. Gregg Caruso joins Good Is In The Details to explain just desserts and free will. If free will is an illusion, that  changes everything about how we

approach ideas and institutions regarding justice, punishment,

and moral responsibility.
